Yesterday, the White House officially named Gautam Raghavan as the LGBT liaison of the White House Office of Public Engagement. Us here at KhushDC are extremely excited by the announcement and hope to work with Gautam on issues facing the South Asian and larger LGBT community.

If you don't know already, he was instrumental in leading the repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell. Read more about it at Metro Weekly.
